I haven’t been to work in a week. Im not proud of myself and see that I may lose my job and am ashamed of the example I’m setting for my children about work ethic. My husband’s family has been quarreling and we’ve been in the middle of all of it. His parents need help managing their estate, healthcare, need rides to appointments, etc. my husband was a business partner with Dad and has tried to buy him out so his portion the business wouldn’t be fought over between several siblings, especially when we hold all the debt. Everyone we talk with is on the edge in the family. All send jabs then say not to be offended. I understand they are all stressed with the situation. I feel that I can’t even function, hence not going to work. Im the only daughter in law but also the only one who lives in town with in-laws. I feel like I’m going crazy and that it’s not worth trying to do anything anymore.

It sounds like you’re in a tough position. I can understand feeling depressed and anxious. And dealing with family issues is hard.
Are you receiving any professional help? I can’t function without my therapy, Group support and meds.
I hope you get the tools you need to help you handle the situation.
Thank you for responding. I have a fantastic psychiatrist. I need to find a therapist. My last one said she couldn’t help me and told me to get my hormones checked. They are pretty much normal. I just feel like everything is so huge and I can’t ever cope with issues. I was diagnosed with severe social anxiety last year. It has gotten harder and harder to deal with people over the last ten years so maybe it’s real?
me too I was suppose to start a new job this week and I postponed it to one week now two :/
Hang in there. I'm barely concentrating at work myself. It's a battle but we'll get through this.
